Hola Yo.

for those of you who really want the xperia launcher. The launcher can be located here and if installed as instructed works perfectly.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2021332&highlight=xperia

Easily done with Easy Installer from the market (locates and allows multi select installs from sd card without need to navigate)

A good Xperia Setup: (well my xperia setup

Post 1 of included link : Launcher (installed like normal apk)

Post 2 of included link : Widgets (installed like normal apk) (there are lots of these, highly recommend easy installer) (music widget only works with walkman)

Free Good Xperia Theme: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...S50aG9tYXNzYWZjYS50aGVtZS5zb255dXhwLmZyZWUiXQ..

Sony Live wallpaper (ads only in settings of live wallpaper): https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sIndhdmUuZnJlZS5wYXBlcndvcmxkLndhbGxwYXBlciJd

this entire setup is free and adless :) (minus the live wallpaper, you only get ads in settings when configuring the LP, its totally optional too ;)

not dissing the rom :) just giving everyone the option :) so i mean no offense by any of this at all :)

By the way. Still adoring 1.0, havnt flipped off of this BLAZING sense launcher as i cant seem to get over the speed of it. I love the xperia launcher and still might switch to it soon, but for now, Warm 4.1 and the Sense launcher is blowing my mind on this rom. The smoothness is incomparable. Thank you for making this rom :)

Xloud

Yes Xloud amps up all the volume inside of your phone.

Notifications volume can be adjusted, however there really is no way to disable acid audio once inside, as the included app is literally just a notifications popup that activates when you plug in headphones. So freezing it with App quarantine (my choice) or titanium backup (most peoples choice) would only disable the notification, not acid.

However my notifications being loud hasnt been a serious issue on this rom, as you can lower that in the volume panel, without adjusting music volume.

You could lower your ringtone volume with audacity if you are seriously opposed to it being a little bit louder. but my speakers have never been loud enough for me, even with xloud enabled so its hard to see where your coming from here.

Also, i read about v7 aswell for acid and am very excited, i wonder what happened to v6? >.> I am eagerly awaiting that release, also curious as to why they even made it for GB in the first place <.< as GB is becoming an old old old old android platform, its like what 4 releases behind now?

Key lime Pie 4.2

Jellybean 4.1

Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0

Honeycomb 3.0

Gingerbread 2.+

Lots of bloatware on SO-02E, but fortunately docomo has made it possible (at least the 10.1.D.0.317 ROM) to disable many apps.

DISCLAIMER: These are apps I have disabled according to my own usage pattern. Disabling these apps may cause errors for you depending on your usage patterns, so beware!

First, the following should not be disabled if you live in Japan:

FYI, you can now upgrade the SO-02E to support NFC-A payments (so you can use Google Wallet in the US/Europe and Mastercard's PayPass system later) as of last friday 22 Feb.

You need to bring the phone into the Docomo shop for a (free) SIM card change.
[Xperia Z General] dliao:
for the future update (official) does the phone has to be in Japan with DoCoMo sim card in it in order to receive update like many other DoComo phones?
[Xperia Z General] fhsieh:
If you get (subsidized) XZ from docomo, you will be enrolled in SPモード service, not i-mode.You can use either spモードメール (preinstalled) or CommuniCase (Play market).

spモードメール is very simple and displays emoji, but it has very few options. CommuniCase offers more options and better interface, but cannot display emoji.

Afaik, you do not need a docomo SIM card. You will not be able to get OTA updates, but you can use PCC or SUS to download and install the updates manually. However I don't know if you must be inside Japan, so maybe someone else can help answer.

Very happy with the SO-02E, once all the bloatware is disabled.

A bit of a shame that we have to choose between using a case and using the dock.

I installed one of these leather protective layers from msyplus (made in japan, JPY 4000) and it looks gorgeous, but cannot use the dock anymore.

I have also installed CWM for locked bootloaders and it works great.

The only issue I have has been with the walkman player. Music would skip very briefly after some time. Rebootingthe phone would help for an hour or so.

Very rarely have the issue with Poweramp though.
